Looking for fast, fun ways to liven up your indoor or outdoor living space? Want to inject more creativity into your home without breaking the bank – or landing yourself with an ongoing maintenance job? Then say hello to the new home-styling favourite – cladding.
Think home upgrades are limited to wallpaper, paint, and soft furnishings? Not on our watch! Here at Modern Garden, our exciting range of decorative cladding – Decor Clad – is a great way to up the style ante of your property.
No longer is cladding reserved for insulation or purely functional applications – it’s now making an appearance for decorative uses too, proving its worth as a product that can offer both style and substance.
Like the sound of using decorative cladding, but not sure there’s anywhere to put it to good use in your home?
Allow us to enlighten you.
There are loads of clever ways you can use decorative cladding to great effect around the home and garden. Here we take a look at some of the best ideas…
Great uses for decorative cladding
Decorative cladding not only looks great, but it’s also a super-easy way to cover problem areas, define new spaces, and add visual interest to otherwise dreary areas.
Here are some of our fave ways to use it:

1. Gaming area
Which avid gamer doesn’t want a dedicated gaming room, or just a great spot to show off their tech?
Struggling for space? Decor Clad can be used to create a gaming ‘zone’ instead. Whether it’s a corner of the lounge, in the eldest’s bedroom, or the unused area under the stairs, with a bit of creative thinking – and decorative cladding – you can transform even the smallest of spaces into an epic gaming area.
Run panels horizontally and vertically to emphasise the space and add strips of LED lights for a super-cool gaming vibe.
2. Feature wall
Always fancied a feature wall, but not a big fan of wallpaper? Then how about creating a statement with Decor Clad instead?
French oak, grey or noir, our range of decorative cladding is available in several classic yet contemporary colourways that work brilliantly wherever you use them.
One of the most popular areas to install decorative cladding is in the lounge. Frame the TV and mask unsightly wires with a full wall surround of Decor Clad.
Easily cut to size, it’s great for awkward wall spaces too. Got a pillar that’s just, well, in the way? Make it a feature and dress it up with attractive cladding.

3. In the bedroom
Have you thought about framing your bed and using decorative cladding to make your bed the focal point of the room? Do it!
Choose a colour that will complement the other features and fittings in the room to create an on-trend luxury vibe.
This works well whether you’ve got a super-king size bed with floor space to spare or you’re squeezing in a single. By drawing attention to the bed, and creating a visual that runs up to the ceiling, you create the illusion of more space – sneaky and stylish. It’s a win-win.

4. Bar
Lightweight, durable, and easy to fit, you don’t need a specialist tradesman (or an alcohol license!) to build your own personal bar – just Decor Clad.
The perks don’t stop there, either. Whether you want to create your cocktail hotspot inside or out, decorative cladding is suitable for both. Though, if you opt for outdoors, we’d advise incorporating a shelter into your design – this is the UK, after all!

5. Porch
Hide untidy brickwork and create a surface that’s easy to keep clean and will stay looking smart, by fitting your entrance porch with Décor Clad.
From muddy boot splashes to paw prints from jumping pups eager to get inside, entranceways can be hammered with traffic – but they also set the tone of your property. Whilst you need your porch to be a functional space, you also want it to provide a smart first impression of your home.
The solution is simple. Line your porch with Decor Clad. This way, all that’s needed is a quick wipe down to keep up appearances (it’s such a good idea, we bet the neighbours will copy!).
